If, like me, you used to save your pocket money and then wander down to the local newsagent on a saturday morning to spend £1.99, or occassionally splash out £2.99, then you might like to know that Mastertronic have a few of there back catalogue available for free download:
THE GALAXIANS
Another arcade perfect conversion from the mid 1980's. Once thousands of machines throughout the land offered to test your dexterity for the price of a ten pence piece. With one bullet, and only the option of moving left or right, you didn't stand much of a chance!
INVADERS 1978
An arcade perfect conversion of Taito's original and most famous game ever. In 1978, the world as we know it really was taken over by Invaders from Space. Gloriously played in its original colours of black, white and green but can be made into colour by placing coloured strips of plastic across your monitor.
CHAMP KONG!
How high can you try? The original, Donkey Kong, featured no donkeys and an unknown plumber called Mario. Legend has it that Monkey Kong was wrongly translated and before anyone noticed all the coin-op machines had been printed with Donkey instead of 'Monkey'. The rest, as they say, is history!
NUKEM!
NUKEM is a game of Anti-Missile-Missile. Operate AMM bases and intercept enemy incoming missiles to defend your cities. You have many people's fate in your hands!
PAC PC
Chomp your way out of trouble and onto the high score table in this all-time classic arcade game. Pop the power pills, gobble the ghosts, clear the level and start all over again!
PONG!
The granddaddy of them all! Thrill to the real-time, non-textured, black and white extravaganza with probably the most simplistic gameplay ever created - bliss!
They just don't make them like they used to!
